As Donald Trump prepares to take the presidential oath of office again, a new poll finds most Americans, and most Republicans, do not want him to follow through on his campaign promise to pardon those convicted of violence in the Jan 6th attack. protectdemocracy.org/work/new-poll-…

It appears Trump failed to follow the law requiring 30 days notice to Congress before firing an IG. He must also provide a “substantive rationale." The President must provide an explanation to Congress and follow the succession plan established by law.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, a long-time proponent of inspectors general, said there was no notice provided to Congress for President Trump’s reported firings of at least a dozen government watchdogs — notice that is required by law.  “There may be good reason the
